I’ve been published elsewhere saying how Grok and people like Musk are a risk to knowledge and how working against these systems is a core part of keeping critical thinking skills sharpened

In the face of AI-driven encyclopedias, cherish Wikipedia – and original sources - The Skeptic
As Elon Musk continues to push his 'anti-woke' version of Wikipedia, we need to protect what's true, and question which sources we trust

So.
I re-read Richard Matheson's Hell House, & whilst i enjoy the overall conceit of the story, some of the edgier/sexual assault material comes across as incredibly immature & edgelordy. I'm still VERY keen to see how the film adaptation pulls off some of the shocking scenes tho. Just need a copy!

I shall be doing a 1 hr show at Edinburgh next year called
"Ricky Gervais fucks a dog to death whilst trying to tell a trans joke"
And I'll fill it full of AI slop on a video screen in the background... Because THATS edgy*
*Based on what I've been told is popular!

Is Ricky Gervais the worst thing to happen to comedy?
I'd say so.
He's always bitching that every one's trying to cancel him, when actually he is a soft skinned gutless hack that genuine comedy giants in the industry do not take seriously.
He made punching down, nasty comedy a sellable trend...
I'd say so.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

How Grok's sexual abuse hit a tipping point
Nonconsensual deepfakes on X are nothing new, but now it's built into the platform.

Another bonus for the Patreons at patreon.com/ALFsplaining... is Ben and John's takeover of the radio show Off The Chart from a week ago. It's not particularly ALF-heavy in content, but you lucky lucky Patreons have a bit of *fabulous* content coming on January 1st.
